| Description of the problem | Washer fluid freezing within the line between the bottle and spray nozzle. Although we are using what is rated as -27 degree fluid, the lines are freezing when the temp drops to around 13 degrees. This has caused a real safety hazard on three different occasion when trying to wipe away salt spray and all that happens is the window smears and i have had to pull off the road, get snow off the ground to help clear the windshield. I know two others that have the same make and model and they experience the same thing. Ford has a technical service bulletin avail to their technicians to address the situation (tsp 16-0082) but i feel this should be included in a recall of these vehicles. |
